Tartans, kilts and slippery surfaces

2017 Interprovincial Medical Curling Bonspiel was a great place for fun and camaraderie

June 19, 2017

“May your slide/stick be straight, your turn be perfect, your weight be true and your sweeping effective. But if not, remember – have fun.” These were the welcoming words at the 2017 Interprovincial Medical Curling Bonspiel at the Granite Club in Edmonton from March 15-19.

St. Patrick’s Day costumes mixed with tartans and kilts as participants “hurried hard” and fought for the title of “A” event champions.

In the end, the Patterson rink, skipped by Dr. Jeffery Patterson, with third Dr. Brian Taylor, second Dr. Brendan Lett and lead Dr. David Pickle, took the Anderson Trophy home.

Dr. Edward Papp won the Ross Wheaton Award in recognition of a person from a league who has contributed substantially to the ongoing success of this beloved bonspiel.
